The next station is...!

[Eagle]

Grays (there's still time to get out of the LTS and onto the GEML).

 

[Ivo]

I know, but we'll see. Little point in taking the shortcut to Upminster though, so we'll go the long way. If someone later wants to backtrack at Pitsea then that's up to them. To be fair though, I hadn't thought of that

For my last post of the night, I give you this: Tilbury Town.

 

[Eagle]

East Tilbury

And with that it's bedtime. See you all on Monday!

I'm surprised Robinson missed the parliamentary bonus for going from Barking to Stratford...

How is it decided whether a service is parliamentary? It seems some services are given as parliamentary at the once-daily level; others for the same level are only given a "long wait". Barking to Stratford isn't even once-per-day, it's maybe 2 or 3x per day! Yet we reckon it counts as a parliamentary...

Anyway, the next stop is Stanford-le-Hope.

Deleted....out of total embarrassment!!!!

What happened to the 531 posts per day average?..:roll:


Proceed to the station at Wickford, where two choices onwards await.

531 per day is the average? hock:

And how on earth did we get to Wickford from Stanford-le-Hope?

Just seeing if you were awake...I meant to say Pitsea

 

[Robinson]

I'll go for the long-game option again rather than attempting to close it out, and I'll say the next station is Basildon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Laindon

 

[Robinson]

West Horndon.

The slower post-rate at the moment may well be due to the fact that I've got this open whilst simultaneously trying to do something else (I know, I know, terrible working habit), and don't notice updates as quickly. Plus the game being less intense at this stage as it's still wide open; no doubt when we start down a dead-end branch line/stations get taken etc, we'll up the ante considerably as everyone vies for position, hoping to get the 3rd-last station to avoid being the "fall guy"...

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Choices of route a-plenty at Upminster

 

[Robinson]

Well, 2 options at any rate, and one of them would be suicide...
So we'll go to Emerson Park

Don't you guys like Essex then? You could have retreated at Stratford, or gone country-bound at Romford...

 

[Robinson]

Caledonian Road & Barnsbury
Haven't done too much travelling in Essex, apart from 1 return trip to Southend during my ALR a little over a year ago (out to Southend Central, returned from Victoria).
